Chapter 24.2

I put my face close to his.

“What’s the matter?” He asked and leaned back as if something was wrong.

“Veronica and Alexid are getting married! He’s going to kiss her!”

It’s embarrassing, but I’ve been upset lately! So that’s the reason why I’ll make fun of you.

“You’re getting married! You’re going to kiss her!”

The word “kiss” made his face red.

“I won’t kiss her! I don’t have to kiss her!”

“You’re going to do it!”

“I won’t do it!”

“You’re lying.”

“I’m not going to do it!”

“Then you’re not going to get married, are you?”

“Ouch!”

The little guy, who was at a loss for words, clenched his teeth. The way he stared at me seemed like he was about to burst into tears.

What’s with the tears, Alexid? You’re such a crybaby peanut!

“It’s none of your business whether I get married or not!”

“I’ll kiss you too when I get married!”

Will you just kiss me then? Haha. This is getting fun!

When I put my face near Alexid, he became a bright red tomato.

He cried as he pushed my forehead away from him with his finger.

“I won’t! I won’t! I’ll never do it with you!”

You crazy punk! Are you really sure that you won’t do it ever?

“That’s not it, Sid,”

“What, what?”

“That would be a disaster.”

“What are you talking about, all of a sudden?”

Alexid, following my tone, became serious as well.

“Anyway. You must do it.”

“Why?”

What do you mean? You might end up like Gerald. No matter how much I enjoy teasing you, I can’t let my one and only brother experience divorce as well, can I?

“Children don’t need to know!”

“What are you talking about?” Alexid grumbled and shook off his clothes again. “Look again. Is it really pretty? Do I look cool?”

“Well . . .”

“Really?”

Oh, my gosh! I haven’t even said anything yet.

“Oh, I already told you so!”

Then he grinned as if he was satisfied.

So, will you get out of here?

Oh . . . I’ll have to get married soon.

After Alexid left, the house became quiet.

My mother was busy preparing the supplies for the march when she heard that my father was going to sail. Of course, the government supported and prepared for them, but as the chief engineer, mom had to prepare a few additional things.

Things such as weapons and armor are items that can only be sold in the country, so it must be prepared, and additional food had to be distributed, in case of emergency.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve been alone.

“Nanny,”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“Yes, ma’am,”

“I want to read a book.”

“What?”

There was shock in my nanny’s eyes.

It was something I had never said in my eight years of life.

I was well aware of my childhood. My goal in life was to keep books away and to get closer to bed and food.

I had a weak stomach, so I couldn’t eat as much as I wanted.

Anyway, I have been lazy, and being lazy was my goal in life. My mother sometimes looked at

me with a disturbed expression, but she left me alone anyway. How should I put it?

“What’s the point of making someone study if they don’t want to?”

That would only make me feel stressed out. If I have a weak stomach, then there’s nothing left to do as well? It’s better not to study than to be sick.

Long live my mother.

Anyway, what I said was unusual.

“I want to read a book, Nanny,”

“You must be lying . . .” said the nurse with a look on her face.

You don’t trust people very easily, nanny. Great.

Anyway, there was a library in the Leander family that had as many books as old history. And anyone with Leander’s last name could use it.

“Yes, ma’am, I don’t know what you ate that you’re suddenly wanting to read a book, but . . . You can’t doodle on the book like before.”

“Well,”

No, I’m not going to do it. I’m not eight anymore.

“You can’t drool over books. Let me know if you’re sleepy. Books are not pillows. Do you understand?” asked the nurse, with a worried look on her face.

Well, I understand.

I nodded.

The nanny carried me to the library.

The only one in the Leander family who reads books was my mother, so if she was busy, there was no place freer than here.

The librarian, who was dozing off at my visit, jumped up.

“Miss!”

“Hello, Grandpa.”

“Oh, my God. My girl seems to be all grown up. You’re all here to read.”

“Hehe.”

I grew up a long time ago.

Ha ha.

I came here today to read a booklet about monsters and herbology that I had read the other day. I’d rather look into it than leave it to Billiers alone.

After confirming with the nanny and the librarian, I headed between the bookshelf.

I had already overturned the entire library when I was twenty nine in my past life, so I knew roughly where the books I needed were.

Long time no see, library.

Gerald arrived at the Leander estate at around two in the afternoon.

This time again, Louella had her favorite snack. His mother, who wanted to go on an outing for the weekend, was also on her way here.

It was easy to persuade his father, Royce.

“. . . I want to make peace with Lulu.”

It was a lie made obvious by Gerald’s eyes, who was not good at lying, and yet, Royce was thrilled and delighted.

“My son! He’s different from my father! That’s right, that’s right. Men should know how to act first. Have a nice trip!”

So, he was supported into the carriage.
